[CIPA (Comprehensive Individualized Process Analysis)--a method for combining quantitative and qualitative individual case analysis].

The main question of psychotherapy research nowadays is how psychotherapy works. Hence, interest focuses mainly on the process of psychotherapy. General change mechanisms as well as the therapeutic interaction are in the center of research interest. On the basis of process outcome findings (Orlinsky, Grawe, Parks 1994) and the schema theory of Grawe (1987) we developed a research instrument allowing the analysis of therapies from a theoretically and quantitative approaches. The research instrument (CIPA-Comprehensive Individualized Process Analysis) consist of three parts: The scales of the first part assess the general working mechanisms and the therapeutic relationship. The second part allows a rating of the patient's interactions inside and outside the therapy. In the third part the individual schemata are rated. The instrument and the research strategy are being illustrated by means of a selected therapy recorded completely on video tape. The results are interpreted on the basis of the individual schema structure as well as the therapy outcome. The possibility offered by the new instrument to combine quantitative and qualitative research strategies is discussed.

[Descriptive single case analyses--a strategy for studying effectiveness correlations in psychotherapy].

A method of data analysis based on single case studies is investigated. It is intended to lead to empirically grounded hypotheses about the differences in effects of various therapeutic methods. The data bases are 16 documented therapies, eight of which are client-centered therapies and interactional behavior therapies respectively. Descriptive single case analyses were carried out in four steps: 1. documentation of single cases; 2. description of individual patterns of therapeutic effects; 3. comparisons within treatment groups; 4. comparisons between treatment groups. Results show that individual differences within groups exceed similarities, so that there is little evidence of a strong influence of the treatment method on individual patterns of therapeutic effects. This result leads to the conclusion that a typology of therapeutic processes should be based on more factors than the treatment method alone.

[Psychotherapeutic activity as a realization of therapeutic heuristics. A process comparison of 3 therapy forms from a new perspective].

A new research perspective for analyzing the psychotherapeutic process is discussed. Instead of the usual method-oriented thinking, a heuristic understanding of psychotherapy is presented that focuses on the goals of therapeutic activity. The instrument developed for this purpose, the Heuristic Rating Scales, is described. Using data from a comparative treatment study, the suitability of these rating scales for analyzing therapeutic activity is tested statistically. Finally, the three therapy forms examined are described in terms of the realization in terms of the realization of therapeutic goals (heuristics) and compared with each other.

[The effects of psychotherapy as a result of the relation of therapeutic availability and acceptance by the client].

The connection assumed in the "Generic Model of Psychotherapy" of Orlinsky and Howard (1986) between therapeutic interventions and the openness of the client, on one hand, and the short and long-term therapeutic outcome, on the other hand, is tested. Three different treatment conditions, namely, interactional behavior therapy, broad-spectrum-behavior therapy, and client-centered therapy were compared in a controlled study with reference to the relation between these variables. The results confirm the central role of the client's openness in the therapy process, but also show the connection assumed in the Generic Model is not equally present in all therapy forms.

[Psychotherapy in comparison: have all really earned a prize?].

The aim of the project is a comprehensive analysis of psychotherapeutic outcome research from a differential perspective. All controlled psychotherapy outcome studies which have been published until 1983 (n = 897) were carefully analyzed with an especially developed assessment-manual. Special importance was laid on those features of the results that throw some light on the comparative effects and prescriptive criteria of the therapies under investigation and their preconditions in the experimental design, measurement and statistical analysis of the respective study. The procedure is described in detail. It results in a comprehensive report on the research which has been done and the results that have been found for each psychotherapy method. An example of such a report is given.
